If Skenes wins the ROY over Merrill, it'll prove that the voters don't care about the West Coast.  Of course, if the Pirates shut down Skenes, that'll make the voting a lot easier.

Counterpoint, you can’t finish last and have the league MVP. Thanks Paul, we couldn’t have finished in last place with out ya!

[exeoud]

The irony of bringing in Margot as a speedy defensive replacement when he does neither of those things well

[Beast]

Get Margot out of the lead off spot, for Pete’s sake.

[Aggies7]

Royce has gotten absolutely jobbed thus far 

[MMMordabito]

Margot is just worthless.

I agree with ya.  AFraud getting the MVP for a last-place Rangers team was a total joke.  This is different with it being ROY so one can win that while being on a last-place team.

[exeoud]

Pitchers have learned to just throw Royce balls and he'll chase.

Do you mean for the Twins sake and sanity?

Oh my fault, I misread 

[Aggies7]

Remember when Luis got hurt in a meaningless game right before the playoffs in 2019? Good times

Another shining example of playing someone that shouldn't because they're so scared of letting the young lefty batters face lefty pitchers.  Take the damn training wheels off and let either Wallner or Larnach play and staple Margot to the bench.

For which team

Point taken.

[MMMordabito]

Down on the Bally Bar, I just saw:

"White Sox - League Worst 10-28 in interleague play"

Way to kick someone when their down.

Since it's the White Sox, just keep kickin'

He really is. He used to be fast and a decent defender, but those fell off a cliff this year. The only thing he does semi-well anymore is hit lefties, who make up only around 25% of the arms in the league. I doubt he even gets a major league contract this offseason.

Training is for AAA, this is not AAA.

I thought he had a (theoretical) pinch hit and was batting 10th?

Slaptana on the Socal diet

Santana!!

Jefftana!

[Tlaker]

Jeffers!!!!

[2wins87]

Jeffers looking sexy again

[gregens]

Jeffers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Jeffers!!!!

 

So that was why his name was highlighted...

[TwinsCD]

Probably could have gotten great odds at the beginning of the season for Jeffers to be the first Twin to get to 20 HR this year.

[exeoud]

Big Jeff

[MMMordabito]

Jeffers is the Carolina Reaper.

[Parfigliano]

Is that why Jeffers highlighted in lineup?
